Wow, two crib recalls in one week, that’s just scary. And this is a really nice one (not that the Jardine crib wasn’t) but this one was EXPENSIVE! So out goes the theory that you get what you pay for… more expensive does not always mean better quality in the long run.
Please forward this on to anyone who may have this product!
